Chapter 1108 The Fifth Party Force

As the king of the Great Xia Kingdom, Zhou Jinnian has been practicing for more than four hundred years. His own cultivation has reached the middle stage of Juyuan Realm, and he can be considered a master in the secular world.

It's just that his cultivation is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Nine Great Sects and Wushuang City, otherwise he would not have been kidnapped by the Seven Ghosts of Underworld so easily.

"I have met several immortal envoys from Wushuang City. Thank you very much for your help!"

Zhou Jinnian bowed very respectfully to Song Ru, Liang Yan and others, and several descendants of the royal family behind him also kowtowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Song Ru waved her hand and said calmly: "Your Zhou family manages the country well, and the people of Xia Kingdom are all loyal. It is impossible for us in Wushuang City to ignore death."

"Yes." Fang Liren also took a step forward and said with a smile: "From now on, you will still be your king of Xia Kingdom. As for the matters here, we in Wushuang City will take care of it."

"Grateful!"

Zhou Jinnian cupped his hands and looked at Situ Kuangsheng again.

Speaking of which, he should call this person "cousin", but judging from the other person's indifferent attitude, he couldn't call him this name no matter what.

"Thank you, Senior Situ, for coming to the rescue."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Jinnian still said this.

"There's no need to thank me. If you weren't my aunt's son, I wouldn't bother to make this trip." Situ Kuangsheng said in a cold tone, without even looking at him, and he didn't take Zhou Jinnian to heart at all.

From beginning to end, his eyes only fell on Liang Yan.

"Liang, I knew you were special that day in Fanghu Immortal Valley, but today I found out that you are also a swordsman!" Situ Kuangsheng said with a half-smile: "The two of us can be considered as close rivals, so-called choice. How about having a sword debate in Qiyun Cave?"

"I only have a rough grasp of the art of swordsmanship. How can I discuss swordsmanship with the True Lord?"

Liang Yan chuckled and did not intend to fight.

Now that the mission of Bihai Palace has been completed, he does not want to cause any complications. A sword fight with Situ Kuangsheng here will not only bring no benefit at all, but may cause other variables.

"Proficient in swordsmanship? I don't think so?" Situ Kuangsheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered: "Whether you can fight or not, you have to try to know!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pinched the sword in his hand, and the "Soul-stealing and Killing Intent Sword" above his head let out a long roar and flew out, heading straight for Liang Yan!

There was no warning about this sword, and it was struck almost instantly. No one present could react, and even Liang Yan was slightly stunned.

"Could this Situ Kuangsheng be a lunatic? How come he beats him whenever he wants?"

Liang Yan cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to neglect. He raised his hand and patted the Taixu Gourd on his waist, and sacrificed his Black Lotus Sword again.

The two flying swords flew up into the air, and they exchanged more than ten moves in an instant. The sword energy flew in all directions, going back and forth, slashing the huge cave full of holes.

When Fang Liren, Ji Lai and others saw this, they stepped back more than ten feet at the same time. As for Song Ru, she made a magic spell with one hand and released a blue light, protecting Zhou Jinnian and other royal members inside.

brush! brush! brush!

In mid-air, the two flying swords were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other. During the short trial, the two sides temporarily maintained a tie.

In fact, Situ Kuangsheng's swordsmanship is already pretty good. Although he has not yet entered the Jianwan realm, his sword has been condensed to about half a foot, which can almost be said to be the prototype of Jianwan. In addition, he has broken through the profound entrance and advanced to the level of true king, so the power of his sword moves is naturally incomparable.

On the other hand, Liang Yan, although his swordsmanship was far superior to that of his opponent, it was impossible for him to sacrifice the sword pill in front of everyone. And his "Phaseless Sword Sutra" originally stated that the more flying swords, the more powerful it would be. Now that he only relies on one flying sword, he is gradually becoming unable to do what he wants.

Situ Kuangsheng nourished his sword with blood and tempered it with battle. The "soul-stealing sword with killing intent" was a flying sword that would never retreat. At this time, as the sword's power gradually took shape, the sword moves began to become fierce and domineering.

The two of them fought nearly a hundred moves, and Liang Yan suddenly felt a light in his heart, and he had a vague epiphany.

The "Fish and Dragon Dance" technique is obscure and difficult to understand. Even though he had the "Tao Sword Sutra" as a foundation and spent two years studying it in the cave, his progress was still very slow.

But today's sword fight with Situ Kuangsheng awakened the spiritual power hidden in his body. It was as if two of him were enlightened about the sword at the same time. Many things that he had not understood before suddenly became clear at this moment. pleasure.

He was originally forced to fight with swords, but at this time, he began to immerse himself in it. The swords from both sides went back and forth, without any hesitation in every move.

A trace of doubt flashed in Situ Kuangsheng's eyes, because before the hundred moves, he had clearly suppressed the opponent completely, but he did not expect that after the hundred moves, the opponent's sword power showed signs of rising. Before his fierce attack, Well, he was not completely defeated yet.

He raised his head and glanced at Liang Yan, and found that the other person's eyes were extremely focused, as if he was still thinking carefully and had a vague epiphany in this fierce sword fight.

"What a man with the surname Liang. I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed the same type of person as me!"

Situ Kuangsheng laughed loudly, pinched the sword in his hand fiercely, and his figure flickered in mid-air. The sword light of the "Soul-stealing Killing Intent Sword" was strong, and a giant sword shadow appeared in mid-air and slashed towards the top of Liang Yan's head.

This move is exactly the sword move used by Situ Kuangsheng to defeat Mo Hanshan just now. It is so powerful that it has surpassed most of the spells in the early stage of Tongxuan Realm. Even some monks in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm may not be able to take this move. sword.

"Situ Kuangsheng is indeed a genius in swordsmanship!"

Among the people watching at this time, Song Ru exclaimed in surprise.

"This person has just entered the early stage of Tongxuan Realm. He has not even stabilized the realm yet, but he has already been able to defeat a monk like Mo Hanshan who advanced to Tongxuan Realm hundreds of years ago. And looking at the power of this sword, he is afraid that You can already fight with the monks in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm!" Fang Liren also sighed with emotion.

After hearing this, Song Ru nodded and said: "With such a genius in the Situ family, I'm afraid it won't take many years to compete with the nine major sects."

These people were talking a lot, and the Xia royal family on the side was even more fascinated.

The several young men beside Zhou Jinnian are all his nephews and grandnephews. They usually practice in the royal family and are all pampered.

Their horizons are not high. Most of the monks they come into contact with are at the late stage of the Juyuan Realm. Occasionally, they encounter a Golden Core Stage monk passing through the Xia Kingdom. They are all worshiped as immortals. When have they ever seen such a Tongxuan Realm level monk? A battle of numbers?

"Is this the power of Zhenjun Tongxuan? He is indeed a land god!" A horse-faced man wearing a brocade robe said enviously.

"This is sword cultivation, it's really refreshing! Hahaha, if I could have this kind of sword cultivation, what kind of prince would I be, walking around the world with a sword, enjoying my grudges and grudges, drinking and having fun, but without drinking, I would be crazy. Like this Aren’t your days free and happy?”

The person who spoke was a young man who was no older than a weakling. This man had long hair and was not well-dressed. If he were not standing next to Zhou Jinnian, it would be impossible to tell that he was a member of the royal family.

Beside this young man, there was a boy who was younger than him, about eight or nine years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big black eyes that were very smart.

"Brother, what is pleasure and enmity? Why is there no such word in the school books?" The boy grabbed the young man's hand and asked in a childish tone.

The young man from before laughed, raised his hand and tapped the boy's forehead, and said softly: "Of course there is nothing like what the old gentleman taught. The so-called pleasure and grudges are all about..."

In the middle of his words, his face suddenly stiffened and he said no more.

Because at this moment, a crack appeared on the boy's delicate and lovely face for no reason!

This scene was extremely strange. His younger brother seemed unaware of it. He still had his big curious eyes open and a cute smile on his lips, but there was a crack on his cheek from the left corner of his eye to the right corner of his mouth.

Nothing could be seen in the crack, only thick black mist.

"you you."

The young man who had just said that he wanted to conquer the world with a sword was now so frightened that he fell to the ground with a look of horror on his face, pointing at his younger brother, unable to speak clearly.

Almost at the same time, Song Ru on the side also noticed the situation here. When she saw the crack on the boy's face that was emitting black mist, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"not good!"

Song Ru yelled in her heart, shot out a blue light from her hand, and rushed forward towards the Xia Kingdom royal family.

However, the blue light she emitted had just flown halfway when the crack on the boy's face suddenly exploded, and a fierce and domineering spiritual power surged out from it, sweeping around with the power to destroy everything.

In a panic, Song Ru had no time to save everyone, so she could only grit her teeth and roll up Zhou Jinnian with a blue light. Then she pinched the magic formula in her hand and created a circle of body-protecting blue light, covering up Fang Liren, Buwen Jushi and Ji Lai around her. Li Xiran was also there to protect him.

The next moment, a loud noise was heard.

Boom!

A steady stream of black energy surged out from the boy's face, and overwhelming power swept around. Song Ru, as the Tongxuan True Monarch, tried her best to protect the body, and the spiritual light also swayed left and right under the wash of this power. Shaking, swaying in the wind and rain, almost unable to hold up.

As for the Seven Ghosts of Huangquan who were seriously injured by Song Ru and Liang Yan, they didn't even have time to say a word before they were knocked into their bodies by this force. They instantly vomited blood and their stumps flew around.

Before they could scream, billowing black air had already filled the air, sweeping over the Seven Ghosts of Underworld in just an instant. Whether they were dead or seriously injured, they were all transformed into ghosts at this moment. Thick black water.

The Seven Ghosts of the Underworld have really become ghosts under the spring since then.

At the same time, Liang Yan, who was fighting with swords, was on the verge of realization.

Two years ago, with only a flying sword, he would never be a match for Situ Kuangsheng after he advanced to Tongxuan.

But now, he could barely support himself with only a flying sword. Although he was always at a disadvantage during the entire sword fight, it was this dangerous environment that deepened his understanding of "Dance of Fish and Dragon".

"Nogibai didn't lie to me. "Fish and Dragon Dance" is unpredictable. It is indeed a rare and wonderful skill."

Liang Yan was thinking about whether to use another flying sword and try a few more moves with Situ Kuangsheng, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the astonishing scene just now.

Among the Xia Kingdom's royal family, there was an eight or nine-year-old boy who had a crack on his face. Then violent power and black energy surged out, killing the other members of the Xia Kingdom's royal family and the Seven Ghosts of Underworld in an instant. A clean one.

"No, there are other people secretly behind what happened today!"

Liang Yan understood instantly. He was afraid that in addition to the Situ family, Wushuang City, Huangquan Palace and Chixiao Academy, there was also a fifth party that was eyeing this place, and had already planned it in advance, just waiting for them to exploit this trap. !

Fortunately, Song Ru's reaction was also extremely fast, and she saved Zhou Jinnian, the king of Daxia, and four of his subordinates just before the black energy swept around.

Seeing that Ji Lai, Li Xiran and the others were temporarily safe, Liang Yan silently breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Situ Kuangsheng also pressed the sword light and glanced around with a gloomy expression.

Although he is a fighting maniac, it does not mean that he is a fool. In this situation, it is obvious that someone has plotted against him, so it is naturally impossible for him to attack Liang Yan again.

The two of them put their flying swords back in front of them at the same time. The "Soul-stealing Sword with Killing Intent" and "Black Lotus Sword" quickly rotated around their master, forming two sword apertures, one black and one white, and cut off all the black energy rolling in from all around. scattered.

"This is."

Somewhere in Liang Yan's body jumped slightly, as if he had a weak sense of the black energy.

But before he could make a judgment, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, and then dozens of earth-yellow rays of light flew up from all corners and quickly closed upward.

"No, someone has set up a magic circle here!"

Liang Yan and Situ Kuangsheng reacted the fastest. Song Ru was a little slower, but she understood immediately.

brush! brush!

Two rays of light, one gray and one white, drew two long rainbows in the air, a few minutes faster than the speed of the yellow rays of light closing upwards. Just before the yellow rays of light joined together, they flew dangerously and dangerously. Out of the range of the formation.

The two figures in the escaping light were none other than Situ Kuangsheng and Liang Yan.

They rushed out of the passage and looked back, only to see that the entire Qiyun Cave had been shrouded in the earth-yellow glow, like an eggshell lying upside down on the mountainside.

Although Song Ru responded promptly, her magical powers were not as good as those of Liang Yan and Situ Kuangsheng. She still failed to break out of the glow of the glow just before the magic circle took effect. They were trapped inside together.

There was a trace of worry in Liang Yan's eyes, but through the glow of the magic circle, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. He could only judge that both of them were still alive for the time being by counting the compasses left behind.

"Liang, please stop looking around at this time. Let's take care of ourselves first."

Situ Kuangsheng's cold voice came from the side, causing Liang Yan to withdraw from his thoughts and look above his head.

On the edge of the cliff, above the huge statue of Confucian scholars, there were three monks in black standing.
